The appointed members include representatives of faith-based organizations, civil rights advocates, business/philanthropic groups, organizations representing communities of color, advocacy organizations, youth or student organizations, academia and individuals with expertise in the challenges facing people with mental illness or the homeless. Commission members are picked by an independent Selection Panel appointed by Mayor Frank G. Jackson, in consultation with the U.S. Attorney.
The Selection Panel will recommend new CPC members, who will be appointed by the Mayor. The members serve in a volunteer capacity. Applicants to the CPC must live or work in the City of Cleveland. Applications are due by noon September 6, 2016.
